Early Ride Time at Alton Towers Resort

Get Ahead of the Thrill
Why wait for the gates to open when you can dive into the action an hour early? From 9-10 AM, Platinum Passholders with a pre-booked ERT slot can enjoy exclusive access to top attractions before day guests.
Jump straight onto:
- New for 2025: Toxicator – Submit to the Spin
- Nemesis Reborn – She’s Back With A Vengeance
- Runaway Mine Train – Choo Choo!
- CBeebies Land – Learn, play and inspire children's imaginations at the UK's only CBeebies Land
Access through the short breaks entrance or main entrance and beat the crowds before the park officially opens. Please note: After 10:00 am, entry through the Short Breaks entrance is not available for Passholders, so you will be directed to the main entrance after this time.
You can also choose to enter the park from 09:00am via the main entrance. This entrance is a great choice if you're planning to visit CBeebies Land or attractions near the front of the park.
